Glass bead making employs a glass making technique called Lampworking. This technique involves using a torch flame to melt the glass, which can then be shaped using tools and the force of gravity. Lampworking is the art of melting and then bending, blowing and shaping glass with a torch to create decorative pieces like decorations, ornaments and beads. Lampworking is sometime known as flameworking or torchworking.

Ceramics are objects such as cups, vases, plates, tiles or figures made from clay which has been heated to make it harden. The word ceramics is derived from the Greek for potters clay and the process used to create ceramics is pottery.
